I’m glad to say that that theme continues here. One of the things I most enjoyed in The Starbound Series was that often, it was the women who were willing to make the difficult decisions and were the more practical of the set (a trend that continued in The Illuminae Files series). That all to comes to a head when they are forced to put aside their differences and work together. Jules, on the other hand, is the privileged son of a renowned and highly respected scholar, he’s had a comfortable life. Mia was the street-smart scavenger, having had to develop a skill-set that helps her survive on the streets. Mia and Jules are the main protagonists and the authors do a great job of setting them up as complete opposites with such distinct personalities. And once the pace did pick up, it was even, with more than enough character growth and development. In that, the beginning was a little dull and I couldn’t wait for the pace to pick up. It takes its time, establishing the world, the setting and the characters. Unearthed takes place in roughly the same universe as The Starbound Series but humans haven’t managed to leave Earth yet, they are still in the process of looking for hospitable planets.Ĭompared to These Broken Stars, Unearthed starts out very slow. I really enjoyed Unearthed and now I can’t wait for the second book to come out.
